The Witcher: Elemental Lords

About half an hour later, the patrol found Carmen's body.

Half an hour later, Dees hurried to the scene. Looking at Carmen, who was lying on the ground with two large pools of blood underneath him, his face was extremely gloomy.

He naturally knew what kind of place this was, and he naturally knew who Carmen had come to see. Looking at the wound, Dees couldn't help but let his imagination run wild, focusing on the woman's husband.

A fallen nobleman.

Things have been going badly lately, with people dying one after another. Now, death has befallen one of his own.

He thought of many things: love affairs, vendettas, jealousy, even theft. Suddenly, he thought of someone and became alert.

Recently, these people have died: Odo and his son, Feller, Carmen, Bondi, XX… Odo died, Feller died, and now Carmen is also dead. Everyone related to that little bastard has died. This is suspicious.

He turned around and asked, "Have you found anything around here?"

An agent said, "Chief, we haven't found anything. It's a pity about Carmen. Alas!"

"Who was the first to discover this place? Call them over to ask. Also, call the coroner to take the body away. I need accurate information."

He saw that Carmen's death was very clean and efficient, without even a struggle. This was abnormal, but since nothing was found at the scene, he could only rely on the coroner's examination. He still suspected that Carmen's death was related to the deaths of Odo and his son, and Feller. There were drug residues on those two. He wanted to know if Carmen also had this situation.

If so, then someone probably really came back for revenge.

This is troublesome. Damn Odo. Dees regretted taking the money a bit. If it really was him, he would need to find some friends from the Ability Association to take a look.

…

When Dorrett quietly sneaked back to the house, it was already midnight. There were too many patrols on the road, and it took him a lot of effort to circle back.

He washed his face in the yard. At this moment, Barr jumped in from outside.

Barr's low voice sounded, "That Cardia discovered you."

Dorrett was startled and looked puzzled.

Barr swayed towards the door of the room. As he walked, he casually said, "But he didn't follow you. He just wanted to see if you would do it, and how you would do it."

Dorrett was a little shocked. He knew that this guy's information wouldn't be well-intentioned. He wanted to see how he killed people? Was he trying to use him?

In fact, so far, he couldn't see what Cardia wanted him to do. He introduced him to the Assassin's Guild and secretly gave him information. Dorrett definitely didn't believe he was just bored. This person definitely had some ulterior motive.

Thinking of this, he thought of the things he had exposed in his last few actions.

Poison, hallucinogenic potions!

Could it be that he wanted a poison?

He used it every time. Was he suspecting something?

Dorrett closed his eyes and thought for a long time. He defaulted to his identity as a wizard apprentice being discovered.

Killing Carmen actually made him feel a lot lighter. He felt that his whole person had become more cheerful. He felt that he could visualize one more copper coin tonight.

Although this was just a feeling, he knew that wizards' feelings were very intuitive. He would definitely be able to visualize one more copper coin during his cultivation tonight.

If there was one more copper coin, then he would have forty-three copper coins.

As he reached the late stage of the intermediate wizard apprentice, the improvement of his mental power became slower and slower. He couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to take hallucinogenic potions.

…

Ability Association.

Mossad sat behind his desk, holding a manual in his hand, looking at his subordinates' reports, and nodded. Although the road hasn't been built to the foot of the magic crystal mine mountain, it has already crossed the most difficult mountain. With the help of the Ability Association's mages, the construction will be slightly faster.

There was a bit too much rain during the summer, which caused the progress to be a bit slow. Every time it rained, it would take several days to wait for the water to recede, so this matter couldn't be rushed.

As a level one wizard, he only needed to sit here.

Just at this moment, he frowned. With a wave of his hand, a slip of paper suddenly appeared in his hand.

"People from Chris County have arrived." The slip of paper in his hand was a list. The leader on the list was Horry, his classmate from the Ability Association back when he was studying.

The corners of his mouth slightly curved into a smile, and he put down the slip of paper.

With the discovery of a magic crystal mine, a level one wizard definitely couldn't hold it. Maybe magical beasts would come out of the mountains to harass them, so two level one wizards would come. If there were even higher-level magical beasts, then they could only send level two wizards to guard it. The magic crystal mine must be grasped in their hands.

However, they had already checked the surrounding mountains and found no level one magical beasts, let alone level two magical beasts. The energy density here was still a bit low, not suitable for the survival of higher-level energy beings.

Wizards, plus the knights and warriors of Domon City, were enough to control the hundreds of miles of mountains around them. Moreover, he had already placed some detection alchemy equipment around the mountains. As long as there was any disturbance, he would know.

This was the biggest advantage of the wizard profession, which other professions did not have.

Coming from Chris County by carriage would take at least two days. He needed to wait patiently.

…

At the entrance of the Ability Association, Dees waited slowly, respectfully looking at the apprentice guarding the door, with a respectful smile on his face.

Soon, a figure walked out from inside. He was a tall, thin man, wearing gorgeous clothes, just like the apprentice guarding the door, but the patterns on them were more complex, making them appear more solemn.

As soon as this person saw Dees, he said impatiently, "Dees, my time is precious. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Dees was a little helpless. He smiled apologetically, but his tone was a bit serious, "Master Beech, naturally I encountered a thorny matter before coming to you. Otherwise, why don't we find a place, sit down, and talk slowly?"

Beech became a little curious, "What thorny matter? Did you encounter supernatural power?"

Dees worked in the police station, which he knew. Because he was in charge of foreign affairs, he occasionally dealt with the police station and would use their people.

Dees gave a wry smile and said, "Yes, sir. Recently, there have been many homicides, all headless cases. There are many suspicious points that our police station cannot investigate. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to come to you." He was much older than Beech, but at this time, he seemed like a junior, without status or dignity.

Beech pondered for a moment, glanced at Dees, and said, "You better be telling the truth, otherwise, hmph."

Hearing this, Dees quickly said, "I, Dees, would definitely not dare to deceive you, sir."

Beech returned to the Ability Association and called out two more apprentices from inside. The three of them, together with Dees, left the Ability Association, entered a mountain path, and soon entered the city.

The Ability Association was still a bit far from the city, which was why he was unwilling to come out, as it took too much time.

As a senior apprentice, he had many things to do, including the business that the Ability Association was responsible for, and his own experiments. He was so busy that he simply didn't have much time in a day.

However, since it involved the police station, and matters that the police station couldn't handle, it was naturally related to the supernatural, to wizards, so he had to act cautiously. The Ability Association had related collaborative responsibilities in this regard.

And senior wizard apprentice Beech was specifically responsible for this aspect of the business.

Among the several senior apprentices, only two were of commoner origin. The others were descendants of nobles. They were the ones who usually did the most work and suffered the most, just to earn some money, do experiments, and buy materials.
